logique du base / disclaimer

I am not a doctor, nor a nutritionist. I am a musician and believe that we should eat well and go to concerts !

The basic philosophy of functional medicine is to find and treat the origin of symptoms, to identify and address your "root cause". The goal of FM is to make people feel great.
​I think that's neat.

You must have doctors who care, who listen, and who do not, under any circumstances, make you feel silly or make you question the legitimacy of what you are feeling. 

General ideas beyond food : prioritizing sleep, managing stress, protecting circadian rhythms, and incorporating plenty of mild to moderately-intense activity (and avoiding strenuous activity) into your day is also exceptionally important. ​
Je ne suis pas médecine. Je ne suis pas une nutritionniste. Je suis une musicienne qui crois qu'on devrait bien manger et assister a des concerts !
​ 
Le philosophy du base du medicine functionelle est de s'adresser a la racine des symptoms et maladies, et guérir le corps et esprit entier et ensemble. L'objectif du MF c'est pour ce que le patient se sens bien, du base. 

C'est impératif d'avoir d'un(e) médecin(e) qui vous écoute, qui vous suivre, et qui vous soutiens. Il faut jamais se sentir ridicule ou stupide quand vous êtes chez le médecin. 

L'idée global après la nourriture c'est de mettre en priorité le sommeil, gerer/reduire le stresse, proteger des rhythms pour votre bien, et faire du sport de moyen intensité.
